The Right EHR For You: Best Practices In Vendor Selection &
Implementation.” This free 90-minute executive web briefing,

“For organizations looking at implementing an electronic health record
(EHR) or considering making a switch, this is the program for you,” said OPEN
MINDS chief executive officer Monica E. Oss. “When it comes to
successful EHR selection, contracting, and implementation, there is no

my colleague at OPEN MINDS for over 20 years — Joseph P.
Naughton-Travers.”

Mr. Naughton-Travers has more than 30 years of experience in the
behavioral health and social service field. For the past decade, over
